bySimon Berney-Edwards

The EWI offer our congratulations to Dr Kay Linnell on being awarded an OBE for services to Justice and particularly in recognition of your work as a Key Adviser to the Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance.

In 2023, Kay was awarded Hon Fellowship of the Institute for her services to the Institute (having served on the Board March 2005 to October 2022, including acting as Treasurer from 2014-2022) and to the wider Expert Witness community.

Her work as a Key Adviser to the Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance was highlighted in the ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office, but we caught up with Kay in 2022 to discuss her role and you can read that article here.
